Małgorzata Pawłowska, Ph.D., Sc.D. was born in 1969 in Sanok, Poland. In 1993 she received M.Sc of the protection of the environment at the Catholic University of Lublin. Since that time she has been working in the Lublin University of Technology, Faculty of Environmental Engineering. In 1999 she defended Ph.D. in the Institute of Agrophysics of the Polish Academy of Science and in 2005 she defended D.Sc. thesis at the Technical University of Wroclaw and was appointed as associate professor and head of Engineering of Alternative Fuels Department at Faculty of Environmental Engineering Lublin University of Technology. She currently works on biomethanization processes and application of selected wastes for remediation of degraded land. Małgorzata has publishes 59 papers, 2 books and is coauthor of 7 polish patents, 1 european patent, 28 polish patent applications and 25 european patent applications. Lucjan Pawłowski, was born In Poland, 1946. He is Dean of Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Director of the Institute of Environmental Protection Engineering of the Lublin University of Technology, Member of the European Academy of Science and Arts, and honorary professor of China Academy of Science. He got his Ph. D. in 1976, and D. Sc. in 1980, both at the Wrocław University of Technology. He started research on the application of ion exchange for water and wastewater treatment. As a result he published a book "Wastewater Treatment by Ion Exchange” together with B. Bolto from CSIRO Australia, in which they summarized their own results and experience of the ion exchange area. In total, he has published 19 books, over 128 papers, and authored 68 patents, and is a member of the editorial board of numerous international and national scientific and technical journals.
